Synopsis

For over a century and a half, two interstellar states have wrested for control of the Milky Way. The Galactic Empire, an absolute monarchy ruled by Kaiser Friedrich IV and an entrenched nobility, seeks to suppress the rebels daring to oppose the inviolable crown. The Free Planets Alliance, a representative democracy led by a corrupt High Council, degenerates as its elected leaders⁠ use war and conflict as a way to win popular support. But this long-standing stalemate between the Empire and the Alliance ends with the rise of two opposing military geniuses. Reinhard von Lohengramm, a minor noble and High Admiral of the Empire through his strategic brilliance and his sister's position as the favored concubine of the Kaiser, dreams of conquering the galaxy and uniting mankind under his iron fist. Meanwhile, Yang Wen-li of the Alliance, an avid historian and reluctant commodore hailed as the Hero of El Facil, uses his tactical prowess to navigate around his leaders' incompetence—and to carve the path to lasting peace. As the war rages on, Reinhard and Yang each strive for their ideals and to secure their place among the stars as the leaders of a new era of galactic heroes. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

Feel the hype!! Feel the horror!! That's exactly what this episode is trying to make us experience. I can say it's not just the higher-ups who are deadass incompetent, these people can't stay calm or think patiently either... god damn. I guess that's just human nature. Humans never lose their survival instinct, next up is supposed to be another great war, stay tune.

Bruh, this is so real. Having someone who constantly wants to climb the ranks is such a pain in the ass. Sooner or later, your ideals are bound to clash with theirs. That's exactly what this episode is trying to tell us. Even if you have no intention of doing anything wrong, there will always be someone who wants to bring you down. It's a pretty common situation in the workplace, and this anime somehow portrays it perfectly. BTW, the facial expressions and character acting are still great, though they feel like they've dropped by just a tiny bit compared to the previous episodes.

Damn, this anime's political conflicts are no different from real life. Just like "they" always do, they carry out their so called "mighty duties", only to make the situation even worse. But Yang is a giving perfect example here. He doesn't want to be glorified, he sees himself as no different from everyone else. That's exactly why he's a true hero. If everyone else isn't treated the same way, then he doesn't want any special treatment either. Yangoat is honestly better than 70–80% of real life governments... and 100% better than Indonesian's. Welp, putting that aside, the animation remains consistently great. There's no noticeable drop in quality, and even the smallest interactions are properly animated, Huge W. BTW, the director made everything clear enough for us to understand the consequences of war and its impact on society. That's another massive W for the director.
